LONDON, Nov. lathe political week has
been disappointing. especially so to the Tories,
who were all prepared for acme very fine thun-
derjng by the whiskcry Marquis OF Salisbury.
and who were sadly deceived. Whether the
rather poor shorty or too rich turtle soup. or
the silly putting OF an entirely cold banquet on
to q foundation OF very hot soup vas the cause
OF the Prime Minister'S detection, no ono could
exactly tell. but he certainly was unhappy and
tagged and worried, too. When the time came
for him to rise to what is usually an
spoch-msklng speech. the buoyant and dofant
tons OF the speech with which he enthused
tho Aldermen q year ago was missing. his
references to Ireland wero vague and shilly-
shallylnx, with no bold announcement for low
ers of coercion to fasten their longings upon.
1t was hoped at least that the incarceration of
defiant John Dillon and the suppression OF
United Ireland would be foreshadowed: but
there WAS nothing Of the sort, and only empty
repetition Of what he has said dozens Of
times before about upholding law and order.
and renewed sounding Of strong and resoluts
Government" talk. which is getting to be very
weak twaddle. Tho whole speech was that Of
a man worn out in battle altogether beyond
his weight and strength, and weakened by
long nights Of struggle with the eternal Tory
nightmare, the Irish question.

The Liberal party. and particularly Mr..
Gladstone. its grand old leader. suffered So

even moderately good speaker. but he had
the good sense to stick faithfully to his leader.
and was unmoved by tho hullabaloo about the
dlsintegrHtion Of the empire raised by the
Tories and Mugwump Liberals. When Glad

and homo rule. Lord Wolverton. as senior Lib

Harry Glynn, the nephew Of Wolyerton. who
has succeeded to his title and estates. Is also
good Gladstonisn. although younger and less
capable than his uncle, and will continue to
support the Grand Old Man in the West of
England. The bitter and growing hatred Of the
Tories for Gladstone is shown in q Conserva-
tive newspaper. which speaks Of Wolverton as
being good man and O genial sportsman. in
spite Of his warm friendship for Mr.. Gladstone.
The Liberal Unionist Mugwumps Of this
country are unsurpassed even by the truly
original MuRwumps Of America in tho impu-
dence with which they claim political purity
and virtue generally "a their exclusive prop
erty and birthright. Sir Julian Goldsmith,

holder in the Submarine Telegraph Company.
which for many years has fattened on Q mo-
nopoly Of telegraphio communication be-
tween England and ths Continent. The inten-
ton Of the Government to lay its own cables
and SO ruin the Submarine Company leaked
out this week. and among the various sorts OF
pressure brought to bear upon tho Govern
ment the strong point of the directors was tho
threat OF Sir Julian. conveyed through the
other political half breed, Goschen, to give
up unionism and 60 back to Gladstone II the
submarine cables were touched before de-
ctsion was reached. Tho story got into print
and Submarine dropped twenty-four points In
an hour. The Government. though much
frightened, dared not Yield to Sir Julian In the
face OF public opinion. and Of the wishes OF the
Times and the press in general. which suffers
most from Submarine monopoly. BY frantic
efforts. however, compromise was effected
whereby the Post Once issued to-day o weak
general disclaimer sufficient to steady tho
market bit and allow the virtuous Unionist
to unload on the confdinG public. Goschen

talk in a high sounding, moral way. To-day he

Mr.. Gladstone, who is much affected by the
death Of Lord Wolverton, ono Of his warmest
personal friends. and who is still suffering
from tho effects OF over-exertion on his Not
tingham trip. has been wisely resting during
the week at Hawarden. exercising on trees
with his usual ardor, and on the Tories with
an occasional letter exploding the lies In which

and case with which tho grand old man can

heart OF every right citizen.
